Molecular Ensemble 2009
| Period: | December 7, 2009(Mon.) December 8, 2009(Tue.) December 9, 2009(Wed.) |
9:00-17:50 9:30-17:40 9:30-17:10 |
| Venue: | RIKEN 2F Meeting Room at RIBF Building | |
| Sponsor: |
Molecular Ensemble Research Group, RIKEN | |
SCOPE
Our grand challenge is to understand properties and functions of the molecular assembly in terms of the non-covalent interactions, and create highly organized and functionalized molecular systems. Our strategy is based on the concepts, "the electron is the lead of materials science", and "structure and spectroscopy tell us electronic state, and the electronic state explains properties and functions". Our research group is based on collaboration of physics, chemistry, and biology.
In this symposium, we will demonstrate newest research topics of the molecular systems and discuss possibilities of research collaborations.
